of the vehicle.

The 1 indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster comes on:
for about 4 seconds when you turn the
SmartKey in the starter switch to
position 1 or press the KEYLESS-GO*
start/stop button once.
for about 4 seconds when you start the
engine by turning the SmartKey or
pressing the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop
button.

The 1 indicator lamp remains lit if
the SmartKey is turned to position 2
and left there or if the KEYLESS-GO*
start/stop button is pressed twice. The
1 indicator lamp will go out when
you start the engine.
The 1 indicator lamp goes out shortly
after you start the engine. This shows that
the restraint systems are operational.
A malfunction in the system has been de-
tected if the 1 indicator lamp:
fails to extinguish after approximately
4 seconds.
does not come on at all.
comes on after the engine was started
or while driving.
For safety reasons, we strongly recom-
mend that you visit an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center immediately to
have the system checked.
